TPM Media:

Woah -- Hillary has pulled way ahead of Obama in the key state of New Hampshire, and now enjoys a 23-point lead over her rival, a poll just released by CNN finds.

The survey finds that Hillary is supported by 43%, compared to 20% for Obama, 12% for Edwards, and six percent for Richardson.

A CNN poll taken in the state in July found Hillary with only a nine-point lead. The 14-point jump in her lead is due to Hillary rising seven points and Obama dropping the same amount. What's more, perceptions of Hillary's "electability" have jumped significantly: 54% of respondents think she's the Dem most likely to win in November 2008, while only 37% thought that in July.

the AYE vote on Kyl/Lieberman will COST Clinton's campaign DEEPLY, for me it ENDED her campaign.
She will NOT vote for ANOTHER G*D DAMN war (with Iran) and get my support...­IT WON'T HAPPEN period.

The leading Democratic White House hopefuls conceded Wednesday night they cannot guarantee to pull all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of the next presidential term in 2013.

So -in your opinion any Black person who would rather vote for Hillary Clinton rather than Barack Obama is an Uncle Tom. Pretty intimidating.

Is the implication that any Black person who wants to vote for Hillary is an uncle tom?

Please don't speak for me. I'm evolved and there are millions out there who are as well. YOU are not evolved. It's not about maturity or evolving; it's about sexism and racism. Which one are you, a sexist, a racist or both? If you're neither then stop feeding the world this nonsense. What makes a white man so special? Can he walk on water or turn blood into wine? No...he cannot. So, why the worship? We are capable of anything. We can elect a fem and we can elect a black. What's the big f*cking deal?

As fluffy Barack Hussein's new cheerleader Oprah would say: "you go Girl! woohoo"! Oprah-Obama, Obama-Oprah, to paraphrase David Letterman!
Pick up any poll: Gallup, Rasmussen, CNN, USA Today, Clinton is way ahead! 82% of total Democrats feel she is the most electable. I guess they can see through the fluff and hot air which are the hallmarks of Barack Hussein's "candidacy"!

18% are either Afro-Americans or the far-left-w­ide-eyed-N­ader-herd-­fringe. Both obvious demographics ...

Are you saying that the 18% that don't feel that Clinton is the most electable are either "Afro-American" or Nader voters?

That seems like a rather nutty and racist statement.
As even Bill O'Reilly seems to have discovered, "Afro-American" people can make up their own minds.

"Nader" voters are people who don't feel that they are represented by candidates in either party.

The fact that so many Republicans--like Brooks--think Hillary is a swell choice should give thinking Democrats pause. The Republicans have been brought down by Bush's failures, and Democrats now have a real chance to make some serious changes in Washington. Is this really the candidate you want?

why would the "fat lady" sing this early in the contest?

You have no credible answer to give. Its almost October and the Iowa Caucus is in January...

And imagine all of the people who are never polled, and who are planning on coming out to vote for Obama...

rubyred20, who is "they"? You claim "they" are trying to force Hillary on you.

Hillary Clinton is leading almost every poll taken for the democratic primary election campaign.

I've been told by liberals here on Arianna Huffington's website that polls matter. I've been told that polls are the standard to which politicians should decide how they vote and polls are a better gauge of how we should decide elections.

Now, the polls are wrong?

God bless the troops.

Neither Hillary nor the O-Bomb-iable person are worthy of consideration. There are far more capable candidates such as Ron Paul, Joe Biden, and Chris Dodd.

The public is being continually screwed and not getting a real choice in the matter. Most primaries have not even gotten started. There is excessively much partisan bias PR spin from the front-runners who want to eliminate any competition. The manipulation by the dealmakers is obvious and disgusting. It appears that the some socialist groups often run the Democratic Party. This excessive influence will only backfire in the actual election.

The yellow dogs at the Democratic Party may yell out to have all interested parties to get on board the bandwagon. Then there will be quite a few responding, "No thanks."
No to Hillary. No to the O-Bomb-ible person. No more excessive socialist dominance in the Party.

Moreover, if need be NO to the entire Democratic Party, the party of more special privileges for the undeserving and unlimited welfare handouts.

Today's Washington Post printed excerpts from the debate of just about everyone - including Gravel - except Dennis Kucinich.

All they said about Kucinich was that he had been there.

Clinton's vote for the Iran resolution is a big downer.
Obama - as seems to be his recent modus operandi - didn't bother to vote on this life and death issue.

Hillary Clinton, who voted for the authorization to use force in Iraq, voted for the Patriot Act twice, and, by accounts, is receiving political advice from Presdient Bush, is the leading candidate for the liberal democratic party. Senator Clinton was also one of the 97 Senators voting in the affirmative for Joseph Lieberman's amendment stating that Iran was, in fact, attacking the United States of America inside Iraq.


What remains surprising is the large number of liberal, anti-war, anti-Patriot act democrats who are willingly and enthusiastically supporting Senator Clinton. It's almost as if those liberal democrats are simply being told who to vote for.

God bless the troops.

The lead would be even larger if Al Gore wasn't in the poll. Barack has nothing to be ashamed about. The ground had been set for Hillary's reign at least twenty years ago. Barack has shown the world what a great politician he is and he will be entitled to the presidency when Hillary leaves. The Hypefund PAC is going to attract a lot of donors and the media frenzy will only multiply.

Barack and Hillary ALL THE WAY!
